We love the beautiful state of Missouri that we are lucky enough to live in! #AD Missouri is not only beautiful, but it is also full of surprises and hidden gems to visit and see! My favorite area to explore in Missouri is Route 66. The history and iconic hotels, bridges, cafes, roadside attractions and landmarks along the route are worth a road trip to @VisitMo.
⭐
Scroll through my photos to see my favorite Route 66 stops in Missouri (from Springfield to St. Louis)!
1. Springfield — Many Route 66 food stops are not to be missed, including @hurtsdonutco,
@redsgiant, @route66foodtruckparksgf and #collegestreetcafe.
2. Marshfield — Check out the Hubble space telescope replica in the town square.
3. Conway — A Route 66-themed rest stop featuring mini versions of old Route 66 buildings.
4. Lebanon — The Munger Moss Motel was built in 1946 and is still open today, with 44 rooms.

5. Waynesville — A large frog-shaped painted rock overlooking Route 66, known as Frog Rock.
@pulaskicountyusa
6. St. Robert — An eclectic landmark and fun stop called @uranusmissouri featuring shops, fudge,
a museum, photo ops and the world’s largest belt buckle!
7. Devil’s Elbow — Devil’s Elbow Bridge is an iconic bridge that curves and is still open for driving across!
8. Cuba — This small town is full of painted murals and displays and is known as “the town where
art meets history.” @cubamomuralcity
9. Fanning — Stop at the Fanning Outpost for popcorn and over 400 sodas to choose from, and take a photo with the world’s largest rocking chair! @fanning66outpost
10. St. Louis — Chain of Rocks Bridge is a must-see on Route 66! It is open for walking and biking only and crosses the Mississippi River with a 22-degree bend in the middle. @explorestlouis

We scored last minute highly conveted tickets to see The Haygoods show in Branson last night and it truly rocked🤘 ! This musical family, including 5 brothers and 1 sister, plays a total of 20 instruments and performs a huge variety of music genres and popular songs during their 2 hour show. But that's not all folks. The uber talented siblings danced, flew, battled, joked, and entertained in ways I have never seen in a live show. My whole family loved it and I 100% recommend you check it out too! 🪕🎷🎻 @thehaygoods @claycoopertheatre @explorebranson #thehaygoods #BransonMO #missouri #haygoods #branson #ozarks #bransonmissouri

🎣🐟 We attended the first Family Fishing Night of the summer yesterday at beautiful #rutledgewilsonfarm in #SpringfieldMO . The girls caught quite a few fish in the catch and release pond, rode the cow train, and played in the bounce house before a big ol' storm swept in and almost blew us all away. We had fun though - just missed out on roasting marshmallows at the bonfire! We'll save that for next time. Missouri weather is no joke! 🌧🔥 #Missouri #fishing #familytime #summerfun #farmlife

Ever wonder what you would look like as a Disney cartoon? Here's our family as cartoon characters! I love it! @voilaaiartist #voilaapp #cartoonme #disneycharacters #characterart #family #digitalart

We had a wonderful #SundayFunday in Springfield, just my girls and I! We checked out the City Market on @historiccstreet, had brunch at @msgilmores, then drove around to a few parks and gardens to play and find booknooks by @littlefreelibrary in the area. We ended our fun filled day with a stop at a lemonade stand then a walk through the amazing @relicsantiquemall and a delicious dinner at The Hill restaurant. Whew! Love weekends exploring with my girls! 👭❤ #SpringfieldMO #weekendfun #mommyandme #sundaybrunch #mamasgirls #missourilife #exploremore

❤ We found another gem on Route 66 that you don’t want to miss! The History Museum is located on the historic square in downtown Springfield and is filled with multiple levels of exhibits about local history. Some of the informative and interactive galleries include a time traveling trolley, a Wild Bill shooting gallery, a virtual train ride game, multiple movies and listening stations and a detailed picture tour of Route 66.
👭 It’s not just for adults either!
My girls thoroughly enjoyed it all including learning about the Osage tribe culture, the 100 year anniversary Coca-Cola exhibit that was on display for the month of May, and examining the artifacts from the original settlers of Springfield. @historymuseumonthesquare
